U.S. National Security Adviser Thomas Donilon just concluded his three-day visit to Beijing, which aimed at preparing for the Xi-Obama summit, Zheng noted.
China and the United States are advancing their cooperation in trade and economics, energy, environmental protection and people-to-people exchanges, the assistant foreign minister believes.
The two countries are stepping up their communication and coordination on international issues including the situations on the Korean peninsula and in Iran and Syria, promoting global economic recovery and tackling climate change.
"China is the biggest developing country while the United States is the biggest developed country. By whatever definition, China-U.S. relations are of global influence and strategic significance," Zheng said.
He told the assembled media that reality has proved that stable and developing bilateral relations have not only benefited the two peoples, but also promoted peace, stability and prosperity in Asia, the Pacific region and the world.
The two countries have extensive common interests and broad room for cooperation, covering issues ranging from economic development to global challenges, according to Zheng, who acknowledged that they have some differences which require effective control and proper management.
"China would like to work with the United States to follow the consensus of leaders, innovate in thinking, take action, step up communication and coordination, promote exchanges and cooperation, and jointly build a China-U.S. cooperative partnership featuring mutual trust and common prosperity," he said.
